Drug Addiction Facts

  • When cocaine and alcohol are used together the human liver manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, which intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects, while possibly increasing the risk of sudden death.
  • Chronic use of crack cocaine can exacerbate violent behavior among those with previously violent tendencies and it can also create aggressive behavior in some users who aren't prone to this behavior.
  • A 2008 report from the "New York Times" addressed additional programs within the confines of inpatient substance treatment centers that have beneficial outcomes. These include psychotherapy techniques and cognitive behavior therapy.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding intensity of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. While this might seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehab need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders while in treatment to find resolution simply because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab centers that can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not simply become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into treatment as part of a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol treatment specifications enforced with them in sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Other Languages

In each and every city in the U.S. there's someone struggling with drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might require treatment in whatever language it is that they are fluent in to ensure that their needs may be catered to properly whilst in treatment. Fortunately, there are numerous drug and alcohol treatment facilities who have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug treatment the best experience possible for anyone. Simply discover a top quality drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility and inquire if it is possible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations as to just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.
